AVRs on Ubuntu

Installing AVR environment on Linux is very hard. Firstly you need to download source code of all the tools, then install additional necessary libraries and compile everything which can take a lot of time …

On Ubuntu it\’s easy, you just need to install 3 programs with apt-get command.

1. Open Terminal

2. Copy-Paste into Terminal:

[i]sudo apt-get install gcc-avr avr-libc avrdude[/i]

3. Type your root password

4. Press Enter and press “Y” a few times when it\’s required

Terminal commands for using this tools are the same as for Mac and even Windows if you are using Win-GCC port. More about that commands next time …
